Respected Sir, Sub: Poor maintenance of temple - Reg.          I am Sadasivam.  I reside at Chennai. Recently I visited my hometown, Vellore. I went to offer prayers with my family at the temple of shivan. It has been our family deity for generations. I was taken aback by the poor condition and maintenance of the temple. Unwanted plants and thorny bushes have grown around the temple which has become a breeding ground of poisonous creatures. The temple is more than hundred years old.

  Write a letter to your friend describing the joy of celebrating festivals in village.  53, Kumaran Street, Tirunelveli - 6. 22 January, 2021. Dear Daniel,               How are days going on? I am fine. Last week, I went to my native village to celebrate Pongal with my grandparents. I was so excited to meet them after a long time. The fresh air of the village was enchanting and greeneries all around was a visual treat. I enjoyed bathing in the river. I visited a village fair and bought a few toys for me and my little sister. I went to my ancestral temple and offered prayers. It was really an enjoyable experience to sleep on a cot on the terrace under the star-lit sky. I missed you a lot and next time you should accompany me to my village.  Yours lovingly,  Ashwin. Address on the Envelope  To  J. Daniel, 67/1, West Cross Street, Chennai - 21.

Describe the picture in your own words               Grandparents are the repository of practical wisdom.  They may not be under the glamorous clutches of modern world but they are replete with ripe experience.  But unfortunately, they are left alone in this modern world. We remain busy with studies,  occupation, or any household works.  Even in our leisure, we get glued to our gadgets like mobile phones.  We assume that the world is in our hands.  At the same time,  we tend to forget that grandparents are the storehouse of knowledge yet are ignored, many a times. They feel alone and sad at their plight. It is our duty to realise their importance and celebrate them.
